SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, NOT EYE TO EYE

It's a great feeling when the common person, proves they have more courage to not back down, when the one with the threats wants to run and hide.

Shoulder to shoulder but not eye to eye. Did you have an issue being at the same event as I? Three times you walked up to the table, but your once invalidation and threat to me, allowed you to be tangled  and turn away from me. Shoulder to shoulder but not eye to eye. Did you have an issue being at the same event as I? I guess you're not use to an unshakable feminist, who's passion is to expose your professional flimsiness. Shoulder to shoulder but not eye to eye. Did you have an issue being at the same event as I? This was just the first time and I won't deny, I am sure there will be others for you and I. Shoulder to shoulder but not eye to eye. Did you have an issue being at the same event as I? Do you think you could ever be man enough to look me eye to eye, the next time we rub shoulders at events of this type? Shoulder to shoulder but not eye to eye. Did you have an issue being at the same event as I?

I like this peice. The male in this peice is seen as weak. maybe his wrong doings are exposed in the powerful woman standing before him. It's asthough she is saying "You know what i'm so over you,But i see that you are not over me. I am lead to belive that this is the first time that these two people have been at an event together. Its funny how the past always catches up with you. I like the stanza towards the end that says next time which tells me there will be other times that "we" meet at events like this. and the slightly angered response in the last stanza that says wioll you be man enough to look me in the eye.
some times the best poetry has the least words. You have done well and i am proud of you for writing this peice you are one brave individual and i hope that this peice will unlock doors and turn keys for people who find themselves in a simailr position as you.

I like this poem! It's a show of how much fight there is in a woman, and being a woman myself, I wouldn't want to back down to anyone, especially a man who thinks he can overpower us just because he is male. Good write!

I like the way this piece is written. I like the duality of the same message as it banters with itself. It is really fascinating and well written. Very origional.

Oh I got your message about this. This was an awsome experience and I would have loved to experienced something similar. In the meantime, I'll just read your excellent poem that can pretty much put me right there each time I read it. I bet it was pretty embarassing for him.
